RPD or Strike Doubling on 1857 FE Cent?

DrewUDrewU Posts: 151 ✭✭✭

I recently picked this up for my type set and noticed what seems to be an interesting phenomenon on the date. I’m guessing it is some form of strike doubling, but what gives me pause is that everything stays pretty neatly within the “footprint” of the date. Anyone with more knowledge of the series willing to offer an opinion on what this is and perhaps how it happened during the minting process? Thanks!!
